We’re delighted to tell you about a new venture The Textile Retreat Company. The team behind The Textile Retreat Company has been running creative workshops at Chateau Dumas in France for the past 14 years. For this latest venture, they plan to use their insider knowledge of textile artists and venues to create exciting and carefully curated textile-themed Retreats and Tours in the UK as well as other destinations.
Whether it’s knitting, stitching, dyeing, printing or another creative passion, on our Retreats you work alongside a leading artist and learn first-hand about their creative process. Accommodation is in a well-appointed and beautiful old English country house with meals provided by a private chef, or in a hand-picked boutique hotel. Each Retreat is unique with an itinerary that reflects a theme and includes some or all meals, as well as trips out to relevant and inspiring places nearby.
As well as our Retreats we also run Textile Tours, taking you to the best venues an area has to offer the textile enthusiast. On a Textile Retreat Company Tour, you'll be introduced to the work of prominent textile artists, both past and present, and explore their work more deeply through private visits, behind-the-scenes tours and delving into personal collections.
To stay up to date with all of our tours and retreats make sure you sign up to the mailing list. We look forward to welcoming you soon.
